The plus side
Emotional intimacy is the basis of both strong friendships and happy relationships.
It's easy to understand how becoming romantically involved with a friend is
tempting:
You've already seen each other at your worst and have learned to accept each other's flaws.
There are no surprises. You already know each other's friends, family and dating history.
It's easy to communicate with one another. After all, you've had practice sharing your thoughts and feelings with one another in a risk-free relationship.

How do you know if a good friend is interested in becoming your lover? There are certain behavioral clues you can watch for:
He notices little things about you -- like a new haircut or the last
time you wore a particular outfit. When a guy pays attention to your appearance
even more than you do, thoughts beyond friendship may be on his mind.
He's unattached, or puts your friendship as a higher priority than the relationship he is supposedly in. If your guy friend switches the topic of conversation from what his girlfriend is doing to how much fun he has with you, then yes, he's hinting.
He spends a lot of time on his appearance before hanging out with you. If your guy transforms from a white-socked nerd to a casual hipster when the two of you get together, fashion is not the main inspiration. Men dress fashionably when they aim to seduce.
You spend time together during the weekend. Anybody with a full time job knows
that Saturday and Sunday are sacred. Weekend hours are devoted to only the
most special people. Three consecutive Saturdays with you are a big clue.
The risks

While it is difficult to determine when the transformation from friends to lovers will be a bust, look for these clues:

Alcohol precedes any romantic overtures. Sure, a few drinks might help you
both "work up the nerve," but more than likely a few drinks will lead to a
one night stand and an embarrassing morning after.
He's a known player. While you might hope that your friendship with him would make this relationship different from his others, don't get your hopes up. It is unlikely that you will change him and your friendship will probably be permanently damaged.
One of you has just ended or is still in a relationship. It is natural to turn to someone you are close to for support when a relationship ends or is not working out. But rebound romances are unlikely to last very long. It takes time to heal the wounds of a lost romance before a successful new relationship can begin.
